BALING-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,456, dated July '8,1883.

(No model.)

To aJZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERICK, of Loudonville, county of Albany,and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements inBaling-Presses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of presses for which Letters Patentwere granted to me October 29,1872', No.132,566 and No. 132,639, and thevarious modications of the same for which Letters Patent have since beengranted to me, particularly May 2, 1882, No.'257,153, and to LettersPatent granted Huntington and Carter, May 7, 1872, No. 126,394, and inthis instance consists in the method of applying the power and ofimprovements in the partitions for passing the bands.

Figures 1 and '4 are perspective views illustrating my improvements;Figs. 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are sectional views.

Similar letters represent similar parts.

It should be observed that in Letters Patent No. 126, 394 and No. 257,153, above referred to,

the power is applied by means of a horse-lever direct to thedouble-acting toggle, whereas in this instance the power is communicatedto the machine by gearing and rope or chain.

A, Fig. 1, represents the frame of the press, which maybe constructed inany suitable manner, or as shown.

B represents the pitman or one arm of the toggle, which is attached to areciprocating traverser, which plays in the frame A. C represents theother arm of the toggle, of which I preferably use two, one above andthe other below the arm B, to which they'are pivoted at D.

E is a shaft, which is secured to the frame ofthe press above and belowand passes through the arms C, and also through the cross-head or cam F,which is located on the shaft E between them. The power is applied tothis cam-head by means of suitable gearing or by aworm, as shown inFigs. 4 and 5; or the cam-head F is used as a drum and reciprocated bymeans of ropes or` chains, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, thus forcing thetoggle B G over its center from Vright tol left and from left to right,as more the top or any other part of the shaft E, provided it and thecam-head Fwere both secured rigidly to the shaft E. The form of the cam-"head F may be varied from a true segment of a circle when ropes,chains, or other than gear attachments are employed, as shown in Fig. 7.

In Letters Patent No. 152,084, June 16, 1874, and No. 17 7,219, May 9,1876, l have shown how my press may be geared to be driven by a separatemotor; but in both cases the crank or toggle makes a continuousrevolution instead of a reverse movement, and thus double-acting thetoggle, as is done in this. I secure this reverse movement Vin the caseof gearing by two heavy balance-wheels or pulleys, G G, Fig. 5, movingin opposite direc tions and loosely mounted on the shaft, so as to bemoved toward the clutch-head H and engage with it either by friction orother clutch. The clutch-head H is secured rigidly to the shaft, and thebalance-wheels or weighted pulleys, being loose on the shaft, canalternately engage and disengage with it, and, moving in oppositedirections, a reverse movement is thus produced, while the power isstored or secured by the momentum of the balancewheels or pulleys. Theclutch-head may be secured by a feather in the shaft, and moved, ifpreferred, and with the same effect. Vhen the poweris communicated byropes or chains, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a single weighted pulley, I,will answer, and it' may also be used as a belt or drive-pulley andmounted on the shaft between drums or spools J for winding the ropes,the 011e rope winding at the top and the other atthe bottom of thespool, so that when either drum or drive-pulley is moved to bring thefriction or other clutch in contact with the drums alternately the ropeswill alternately wind and unwind and vibrate the cam-head F, to whichtheropeK is attached, and thus vibrate the toggle B C from side to side,or double-acting it. The power might be increased by mounting theweighted drive-pulley and clutches on a separate shaft geared to thedrum or spool-shaft; or a steam or hydraulic cylinder and piston-rodmight be used and the rope or chains attached to it direct, as shown inFigs. 3 and 7, or be geared to the piston-rod by means of arack, asshown in Fig. 5, L being the steam-cylinder, and M the pis- IOO ton rodor shaft, so that7 as the piston is moved back and forth by means of thedirect action of the steam, the power of the press is vibrated asinpreceding cases, and thus by its action eondenses the hay in sectionsinto bales.

Fig. 6 represents the partition or follower through which the bands orwires are passed in order to bind the bales, and differs from thoseshown in former patents referred to, in that one or more slots on eachside are diagonal across its face7 as shown at N, Fi G, for the purposeof binding` the bales by a continuons wire, as more 'fully set forth inLetters Patent `granted nic on this method ot' binding` bales Api-n10,1883, No. 275,366.

Havingthus fully describml my invention,

what l. claim, and desire to secure by Letters .'Pateilt, is

l. In a baling-press, the combination of the doublcacting toggle B Cwith the cross or cam head F, reversed or vibrated back and forth bymeans of gearing, ropes, or chains, substantially in the manner and 'forthe purpose set forth.

2. In combination with the baling-case, the partition provided. withdiagonal slots7 for the purpose set i'orth.
